- "along with the armored cruiser Amiral Charner and the torpedo cruiser Wattignies and D'Iberville." - I think torpedo cruiser should be plural here
- Fixed
- "The divisional commander at the time was Vice Admiral Pottier." - Is Pottier's first name known? That would be helpful for readers to know who exactly is referred to. Could it be Édouard Pottier? He was a French admiral active in this time, and he served in the Mediterranean in the 1890s. In fact, our article on Pottier states "In the International Squadron's final act, Pottier steamed aboard his flagship, the protected cruiser Bugeaud – accompanied by the squadron's Italian flagship". I think it's him.
- Good find - I checked a couple of sources but wasn't able to find the name. I hadn't thought to see if there was an article on him.
- Just for clarification, was the ship broken up the same year it was struck from the register? I know there's a gap sometimes between the striking and the sale to the shipbreaker sometimes.
- No, I don't have anything specific on when the dismantling began.

- AGF on book sources

- Do any of the sources happen to be so helpful as to definitively indicate a namesake?
- No, unfortunately, though it's certainly Thomas Robert Bugeaud. This is one frustrating thing about the French ships I've been working on lately - I'd gotten used to the very detailed source I have on German ships (which, while requiring translation, allows me to write pretty complete articles like SMS Grille)

- Image licensing looks good.

Just a few things to tighten up on this one. Good work, as usual. Placing on hold. Hog Farm (talk) 19:56, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
